Absolute Configurational Assignment of Acyclic Hydroxy Carboxylic Acids: A New Strategy in Exciton-Coupled Circular Dichroism
摘要:
A new strategy in exciton-coupled circular dichroism (ECCD) is described for the configurational assignment of alpha-hydroxy carboxylic acids. Using 9-anthryldiazomethane (4), carboxyl groups can be selectively derivatized with a chromophore suitable for exciton coupling. In combination with the 2-naphthoate chromophore linked to the alpha-hydroxy group, the absolute stereochemistry of alpha-hydroxy carboxylic acids can be easily deduced from a single CD measurement. The usefulness of the new method is demonstrated with a series of alpha-hydroxy acids with different side chains. The developed microscale method is also useful for chiral amino acids and natural products containing carboxyl groups or similar structural units.

CDexcitonchiralitymethods are described for the stereochemical assignment of organic compounds containing carboxylic acid groups. Using the chromophoric combination 2-naphthoate or 2-anthroate and 9-anthrylmethyl group the absolute stereochemistry of α- and β-hydroxy carboxylic acids can be deduced from a single CD measurement. Furthermore, as demonstrated with cyclic and acylic dicarboxylic acids
